This Complaint is not about a specific incident, but about excessively-brilliant (blinding) headlights. In the flow of traffic, the blinded drivers far outnumber the vehicle using blinding headlights. The area those headlights cover spreads out so WIDE, the blinded driver is not able to see the side of the road. Insurance companies may say this problem does not cause accidents; but, I believe that is because many drivers do not dare risk driving at night. Excessively-brilliant, blinding, headlights should be BANNED and Recalled. Those headlights are a terrible safety concern and should have been banned years ago.

The contact owned a 2011 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while he was driving at 40 MPH, another vehicle that was speeding caused a multiple vehicle collision. During the collision, the contact was in the middle lane when the speeding vehicle crashed into a vehicle in the left lane, and that vehicle merged violently into the middle lane, causing the contact to rear-end the vehicle in front due to the driver abruptly stopping. During the attempt to stop, the vehicle failed to decelerate sufficiently. Upon impact, the frontal air bags failed to fully deploy, as they only partially emerged from the housing. The failure experienced was a loss of braking effectiveness at 40 MPH that…

I am submitting a safety concern regarding airbag non-deployment involving my former vehicle, a 2011 Toyota Corolla LE (VIN: [XXX] ). This vehicle was subject to multiple Takata airbag recalls, including a 2018 front airbag recall and a May 2020 Takata non-deployment and seatbelt pretensioner interim recall.

Part of a customer support repair program through Toyota. It expired, and Toyota Customer Care at 1-888-270-9371 told me to file a complaint at NHTSA.gov. So I am filing a complaint. The paint is peeling on my car rapidly and I have missed the support program deadline because it was not happening in the timeframe they created for this problem. But there is no reason for my pain to be peeling like it is other than manufacture error.

I am writing to formally request a recall or resolution for a significant defect in my [2011, Toyota, Corolla] vehicle, which I purchased in 2011. Over time, the paint on my vehicle has begun peeling extensively, affecting not just the aesthetics but also potentially the resale value and durability of the car. This issue appears to be a widespread problem among vehicles of similar make and year, suggesting a potential manufacturing defect. Given the extent of the paint deterioration, I kindly request that Toyota Company acknowledge and address this issue through a recall or appropriate corrective measures.
